Introduction
As seniors age, they sometimes encounter illnesses that involve slow recovery and/or long-term care. They can be faced with life changing circumstances requiring important decisions that can alter the course of their future lives. Seniors often are not prepared for such decisions. They turn to trusted friends, religious leaders, doctors or other sources for advice.
In recent years the NCRO Aging Information Subcommittee (AISC) has conducted seminars and webinars, on several aging topics. The AISC has collected its best material and good practices into an Aging Information Library below.
